REFLECTION: How it feels is not how it has to be.
This isn't one of those blogs where I come to you with 35,000 main points articulated.
It's actually one of those moments where I wake up wanting to share what's on my mind. Is it still cool to do that here? Or should I go back to Tumblr?
Ignore that. Here's what matters.
GRATITUDE CAN CHANGE THINGS.
Yea, it's that simple. Are you angry? Frustrated? Sad? Anxious? Perturbed? Disappointed? Etc.?
Try these simple steps to immediately change your mood and situation:
Say this: "Thank you for the ability to feel." THEN
Say this: "Thank you for all the amazing moments in my life that stand in contrast to my current situation." THEN
Say this: "Thank you for a consistent history proving that however this feels is not how it has to be." THEN
Continue to give thanks for any number of things that have brought/continue to bring you joy and strength and peace.
Write down, as succinctly as possible, the steps to shift the current situation affecting your mood.
ACT.
Proof: Sunday morning, I was fairly irritated after having gotten off track with my planner usage. Mostly because writing things down helps me archive my lived days while planning for the future. Instead of staying sullen, I decided gratitude was the best best. Because whether I'd catalogued the way I'd spent my time or not, I had been gifted the immense blessing of time.
with <3 and gratitude and immense joy,
khoLi.
